Hebrew Public schools are state funded and are thus free. Many of the schools have a large majority of students from African-American, Hispanic, and Asian communities, who become proficient in Hebrew and learn about Israel. Some students are Jewish and Israeli who prefer the Hebrew Public system because of its high standards. “These trips are vitally important as we seek to educate global citizens with a love of Hebrew, the people and State of Israel,” Valerie Khaytina, Chief External Officer of Hebrew Public said. As most teachers are from Israel, the students learn to speak with Israeli accents, and Hebrew is also the primary language spoken during lunch and recess.
